The 'What Does This Monster Have to Mourn?' meme originates from Marvel's 2018 Thanos #11 comic. The panel features a future version of King Thanos standing amidst a field of skulls, leading the Cosmic Ghost Rider to question the source of his grief. While the original comic context is dark and philosophical, internet users repurposed the template to humorously assign tragic significance to trivial losses, like a discontinued snack, a cancelled TV show, or a lost video game save. It perfectly captures the dramatic irony of a powerful villain being brought to tears by something mundane yet relatable.
